We have two Patterson's 76-84, who obviously are the same journeyman.
-Lucky Patterson, LH, Chicago, IL 76-80
-Henry (Bulldog) Patterson, H, Lafayette, NC 77-84

Based upon a ring mag report, "Pan Pacific" by Ray Mitchell, I'm about to move Lucky's record to Bulldog, and make it one.

The Ring, Sept. 80;

"MELBOURNE - Town Hall - Big Marc Ecimovic, 210, and 6'5", met American Henry Patterson, 187, in a 10-rounder. Patterson is listed as "Lucky" Patterson in the 1979 Ring Record Book. In Melbourne, he was billed as "Bulldog" Patterson. But Pat, who fights out of Chicago, was not lucky against Big Marc. Nor was he a bulldog. Ecimovic unleashed a big punch in round three and that wrapped it up"

Can I go for it, Gentlemen?

'81 RRB has two distinct records. Henry(Bulldog)fighting primarily in the Carolinas and Lucky out of Chicago. Henry was the world traveler, would not merge these without something more definitive than one report.

Okey! Clear reply, I'll let it be. No siameese twins here.
Thanks Robin!
